It's been quite a week this past week, indeed! In all fairness, we've always known that the book creator is a great feature for Wikipedia and all wikis, but we were not so sure about our ability to show the world what great things you can do with it.

Well, these are just a few of the cool things we saw out there in the blogo-twitto-news-o-sphere and we're very grateful that our hard work was noticed and showed off as it was. It motivates us to do ever better and more for making the book creator a top tool for bringing wikis to print.

That's it, the book creator has gone live in the English Wikipedia! A few hours ago, the book creator has been made available to all users of the English Wikipedia. This feature, which allows all readers to create books from Wikipedia articles, has been until now only available to logged-in users. It has been available in other Wikipedias for a a longer time, it's now available on the English Wikipedia, for all, without restrictions.

The whole PediaPress team has been working hard in the last few months to offer our users a better online and offline experience. The book creator has been revamped to make it easier to use, as well as faster and more complete. The custom books made through PediaPress now feature color covers and the possibility to add an image, and will soon offer hard covers and color content. We've also refreshed our catalogue with brand new books and you can find out all about the new feature in the screencast we published on YouTube.

We are very happy to be able to offer this feature on Wikipedia in the frame of our long term partnership with the Wikimedia Foundation, and are at your disposal at any time for more information. Our contact information, official press release, as well as other press material (interviews, photos and more), can be found in our Press Room.

We are looking forward to even more great books to share with the world!
